This mohair (from the angora goat) is hand washed with special mohair cleaner to preserve beauty and luster, then hand dyed with an acid dye specifically formulated for mohair. It's then washed again, rinsed several times and conditioned. From there it is hand combed to remove any tangles and debris. It is inspected lock by lock to ensure top quality. You will LOVE this mohair AND the great price.
